The cookies are here!

RAYMONDVILLE - Area Girl Scouts are picking up their inventory of delicious Girl Scout cookies to deliver to their customers and prepare for the Cookie Booth Season that kicks off this weekend!

Trailer trucks, loaded with hundreds of thousands of cases of all the Girl Scout Cookie favorites are delivering cookies to Girl Scouts this week and that means the cookies will soon be in the hands (and freezers) of customers.

Girl Scouts and adult volunteers will be delivering Girl Scout cookies to homes and offices. This week's delivery also begins the preparation for cookie booth locations that will open for business throughout the area beginning Saturday, February 20th Customers can stock up on even more cookies. Look for booths at Walmart and O’Reilly’s in Raymondville and Walgreens, CVS, and Family Dollar in Harlingen as well as at many other local supportive community partners.

Whether Samoas, Thin Mints, or Do-Si-Dos are your favorite Girl Scout Cookie-the wait is finally over! Through March 7th you can get your favorite Girl Scout Cookie including a new “Thank You Berry Munch.” Boxes are $3.50 each and boxes purchased support programs for girls in the area.

New this year, the Council is making it easy for you to find a cookie booth nearest you! Visit www.gsgst.org and use the Cookie Locator to search for a Girl Scout Cookie Booth by entering your zip code.

With every cookie season, girls enhance their skills, learn to work as a team, manage finances, and give back to the community. The girls develop self-confidence and learn to work together toward a common goal.
